I Hope You Will Never Regret

Avery smiled beautifully at her husband, then she served him and his friends. Xavier smiled back at his wife and thanked her.

Bridgette served her parents, Prince, and the Kemp family. Hope served her mother, Joy Dube, and Bridgette’s assistants. The atmosphere was warm, and the food was delicious.

Page’s heart was overwhelmed with bitterness when she found out that her future husband was already married. The delicious food tasted like rubber in her mouth.

Around 4 pm, the Taylor family bade farewell to the Evans family, then they left. However, Xavier and Uncle Keith stayed behind. Xavier was scared that his wife would want to sleep at the Evans mansion again.

Eden looked at his sister fuming with anger and asked, “Suzie, why didn’t you tell us that brother-in-law was rich? Also, why didn’t you tell us that my niece is marrying the son of the richest family in the country?”

Suzie looked at her younger brother and sneered, “I never told you that my husband was poor. Didn’t I tell you that your niece’s husband was from the Taylor family? Are you blaming me for your blindness?”

Then she looked at her niece and said, “Page, please stop coveting something that is not yours. Xavier is married to my God granddaughter.” Then she asked her bodyguard to take them to the airport.

Her sister-in-law was fuming with anger when she thought about a cheque that the Taylor family handed to the Evans family. She looked at her and said, “Sister-in-law, you have to pay for our flights and hotel accommodation.

You were supposed to explain to us clearly that you are staying in the mansion. Why should we waste our money since you are wealthier than us?”

Suzie looked at her sister-in-law and asked, “Didn’t I beg you to come to my house? How much money did you spend on coming here?” Eden looked at his sister and said, “My wife is joking. Please don’t take what she said to heart.”

His wife was so angry and replied, “I am not joking, Eden. I want my sister-in-law to pay every cent that we spent on coming here. Please refund us seven thousand rand.”

Suzie took her phone and asked, “What is your bank account number?” Then she transferred ten thousand rand to her sister-in-law’s account.

She smiled at her sister-in-law and said, “I deposited three thousand rand more to thank you for gracing us with your presence.”

Eden felt uneasiness in his heart as if his sister would never invite them again. He looked at his wife with sadness in his eyes, but he didn’t utter a word. His wife didn’t understand the big picture.

Eden was reluctant to leave; he didn’t want to miss the opportunity to ask for cooperation with the Taylor family. He wanted to say something to his sister, but she left them in the living room.

A few minutes later, Prince took them to the airport to catch a 6 pm flight. Eden called his elder brother and told him everything. His elder brother was dumbfounded when he heard about his niece’s news.

He regretted the way they had treated their sister. However, it was too late to regret it. He advised her brother to maintain his relationship with their sister. He was hoping that one day, their sister would forgive them.

At the Evans mansion, Avery hugged Aunt Bridgette and said, “I am so happy for you, my beautiful Mom. May the Lord bless you with the chubby little dumpling.”

Aunt Bridgette hugged her tightly and replied, “Thank you, Sweetheart. I know that the Lord is listening to you and I receive gladly.”

Her father was standing outside with his son-in-law laughing. Avery walked to them and said to her husband, “Honey, please open the car for me. I want to get Daddy’s gifts.”

Xavier walked to his car, then he took the gift bag from the boot. He handed it to his wife. Avery smiled beautifully at him and said, “Daddy, this gift is from both of us.” Her father was beaming with joy, he hugged his son-in-law and kissed his daughter on both cheeks.

They bade their father goodbye, and then they left. Mr Martins joined Mr Evans in the living room. Paul was smiling from ear to ear and said, “The Taylor family amazed me. I am so happy for my daughter.”

Suzie walked into the living room followed by their daughter and son-in-law. Keith smiled at his father-in-law and said, “Dad, is it possible for us to register our marriage tomorrow?”

Mr Evans laughed out loud and replied, “Son, I give you my blessing. What do you think, my wife?” Mrs Evans smiled brightly and replied, “I give you my blessing too, son-in-law.” Then they blessed them.

Keith bade goodbye to his in-laws, and then Bridgette sent him off. Keith smiled broadly at his future wife and said, “I will fetch you at 8 am to register our marriage.”

Bridgette smiled sweetly at him and said, “I cannot wait to be your wife. Drive safely on the road.” He hugged his future wife tightly and kissed her on top of her head. Then he got into his car and drove away.

Bridgette walked back to the house smiling from ear to ear. She was so happy. She was thanking the Lord for an open door. She had already given up. Unbeknownst to her, the Lord was preparing Keith for her behind the scenes. A few minutes later, Mr Martins left.

Mrs Evans looked at her husband and said, “I will never invite my brother and his family ever again. His wife asked me to refund them for flight and accommodation because we are rich.”

Her husband was shocked to hear that, but he didn’t utter a word. His wife’s family cut ties with their daughter because of him. Bridgette laughed out loud and asked, “Are they poor, Mom?”

Her mother shook her head and replied, “They are not poor or rich. My youngest brother is an entrepreneur, and my sister-in-law is a university lecturer. Page is working as a secretary in her father’s company.

My sister-in-law was unhappy because I didn’t tell them that we were rich and that we lived in a mansion. I am glad that she asked me to pay back the money. I will remove the Kemp family from my heart.”

The following day, Keith and Bridgette registered their marriage at Home Affairs. John and Caroline gave them a matrimonial mansion as their wedding gift.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
